Michael Flynn’s sentencing in the special counsel’s case was delayed for 90 days on Tuesday during a hearing that saw the judge handling the case question whether the former national security adviser committed treason against the U.S.
Flynn’s lawyer, Robert Kelner, took Judge Emmet Sullivan up on an offer to delay sentencing until the retired lieutenant general finishes his cooperation with prosecutors handling other criminal investigations.
The delay comes as a surprise since Flynn’s team appeared poised to go through with sentencing at the beginning of Tuesday’s hearing. The special counsel’s office had recommended that Flynn be sentenced to the low-end of a zero to six month sentencing guideline because of his “substantial cooperation” with prosecutors.
But those plans seemingly went awry after Sullivan lambasted Flynn for lying to the FBI and for working as an unregistered foreign agent of Turkey.

One minute the judge likes Flynn the next minute he is BI POLAR.
ReplyDeleteYup right after he went to chambers and Returned to court. I wonder who called him. Very odd. Clinton machine at work.
DeleteTis all well, Flynn will be safe, its the only way he could continue to provide info on the Deep State. This man is doing the right thing by his country, MSM is full of crap #WWG1WGA
ReplyDeleteThis judge has some nerve. How dare he talk down to a honored serviceman. Did this judge serve his country - probably not. What happened between the spended sentencing to the chastising? Was he paid off by Hillary? Flynn spent his while career serving his country and to be accused of being unAmerican makes me angry. Enough.
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't a judge. He is an activist. Where is the justice system to keep activist judges in check??? Can they actually disregard the CONSTITUTION with no consequences??? Like in football. Get a ref in there and throw a flag. These idiots are ruining are country. Isn't AFFIRMATIVE action wonderful!??
